That is usually memory or motherboard timings. memtest86+ will miss a lot of problems on these boards for some reason I don't really fathom although its still a worthwhile test you did
I'd be interested to knowwhat the following do
Bad RAM check: Boot with mem= to limit to the bottom 256MB of RAM (Windows tends to use different areas of RAM to Linux the most so your report fits that)
Stress testing: Go into X in a high resoution, starting running a continuous copy to or from disk and see if its suddenely much less stable
Disabling power management
